Kentucky Fried Cruelty dot Com
February 25th, 2008We all know that the organization PETA gets a bad rap for sometimes being controversial and even radical in their ways. As a vegan myself, I have stopped eating animals because of the atrocities committed against animals so that certain major food corporations can profit.
Here’s an interesting video by Pamela Anderson and KentuckyFriedCruelty.com. Note: Some of the images of chickens being abused and killed are pretty disturbing.
I was a member of PETA for a few years and then I forgot to renew my membership. I think I just may join again, because I do believe animals have rights and should be treated humanely.
KFC suppliers cram birds into huge waste-filled factories, breed and drug them to grow so large that they can’t even walk, and often break their wings and legs. At slaughter, the birds’ throats are slit and they are dropped into tanks of scalding-hot water—often while they are still conscious. It would be illegal for KFC to abuse dogs, cats, pigs, or cows in these ways.
KFC’s own animal welfare advisors have asked the company to take steps to eliminate these abuses, but KFC refuses to do so. Many advisors have now resigned in frustration.

That video and the one on http://www.meetyourmeat.com swayed me to stop eating meat. It has only been a week, and I still have fish and eggs, but at least it’s a start. Also, I think a diet of less meat (or none at all) will help the environment. At least I can do my part.
